<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Henti jantung (cardiac arrest) merupakan kondisi berhentinya aktivitas pemompaan jantung secara mendadak yang dapat menyebabkan kematian sel otak dalam waktu 4 menit dan kematian organ vital dalam 10 menit apabila tidak segera ditangani. Sebagian besar kejadian henti jantung terjadi di luar rumah sakit (Out Hospital Cardiac Arrest), sehingga peran masyarakat, khususnya kader kesehatan, sebagai penolong pertama (first responder) menjadi sangat penting. Kader kesehatan di Desa Cikamunding, Kecamatan Cilograng, Kabupaten Lebak, Banten belum pernah memperoleh pelatihan Bantuan Hidup Dasar (BHD), padahal desa tersebut berjarak tempuh sekitar 179 km dan 4–5 jam perjalanan darat dari rumah sakit rujukan. Meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader kesehatan dalam melakukan Bantuan Hidup Dasar secara cepat, tepat, dan aman. Kegiatan pengabdian dilaksanakan melalui penyuluhan edukatif, demonstrasi, dan pelatihan praktik langsung mengenai tahapan BHD (penilaian awal, aktivasi sistem gawat darurat, kompresi dada, dan ventilasi) yang melibatkan 20 orang kader Posyandu. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan kuesioner pre-test dan post-test pengetahuan serta observasi keterampilan sesuai pedoman American Heart Association (AHA) 2020. Pengetahuan kader sebelum pelatihan tergolong kurang pada 16 peserta (80%) dan meningkat menjadi baik pada 15 peserta (75%) setelah pelatihan. Keterampilan kader sebelum pelatihan tergolong kurang pada 18 peserta (90%) dan meningkat menjadi baik pada 17 peserta (85%) setelah pelatihan. Pelatihan Bantuan Hidup Dasar terbukti efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader kesehatan dalam penanganan korban henti jantung di Desa Cikamunding.

ABSTRACT Cardiac arrest is a sudden cessation of effective cardiac pumping activity that can cause brain cell death within 4 minutes and vital organ failure within 10 minutes without immediate treatment. Most cardiac arrests occur outside the hospital (Out Hospital Cardiac Arrest), making community members, particularly health cadres, essential as first responders. Health cadres in Cikamunding Village, Cilograng Sub-district, Lebak Regency, Banten had never received Basic Life Support (BLS) training, despite the village being located approximately 179 km and 4–5 hours by road from the referral hospital. To improve the knowledge and skills of health cadres in performing Basic Life Support quickly, accurately, and safely. The community service activity was conducted through educational counseling, demonstration, and hands-on practical training on BLS stages (initial assessment, activation of the emergency response system, chest compression, and ventilation) involving 20 Posyandu cadres. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test knowledge questionnaires and skill observation based on the 2020 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. Prior to training, 16 participants (80%) had poor knowledge, which improved to good knowledge in 15 participants (75%) after training. Prior to training, 18 participants (90%) had poor skills, which improved to good skills in 17 participants (85%) after training. Basic Life Support training was proven effective in improving the knowledge and skills of health cadres in managing cardiac arrest victims in Cikamunding Village.
